You shouldnt have had him refund me man! I will just let him keep the money until my parts get to him, then i dont have to pay him later. Thanks for being thoughtful though. If he hasnt refunded me or he sees this message dont worry about it, money in the bank.

I agree great paint job.
Just a few things in regards to color. Snake's hair is brown and he has a more pale complexion. If these changes could be made then it would be perfect.

The hair is brown it's just dark brown, Pete will lighten it if you wish

Also the head is painted to colour match the body, however if you want the head to be a different colour to the body I'm sure Pete will accommodate

If it's color matched to the TTM21 then that is cool. But yes Pete if you could lighten the hair more on mine that would be great.
Thanks!

What are the hands everyone plans on using for this?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

For now, im going to paint the stock hands black to look like skin tight gloves. I also just found my gun set up! I dont know how i luck out so bad, but i do.

btw frank, where do you order the elastics from? i dont know what to call them to order them online. maybe you could point me in a direction, thanks.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

Just realized that the elbow/knee pads won't come with the elastics, so I'm salvaging as much from the Yamato outfit as possible. Here is my WIP using the HT Christopher Reeve body:

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

They are coming with the elastic

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

i listed my old yamato one on ebay trying to recoup some monies i put into this project. i have the completed figure up so that someone will by it. i have 95% of what i need for the new one. i found some female hands that may work for solids hands, well see, i only spent $8 on em. i already have a spare holster thatll work from the gun that i bought my old snake. the only thing i need to track down is some webbing i can repurpose or maybe the materials and buckles so i can build my own.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

don't sweat it man I'm adding the elastics, since it's being sent to Pete anyway

One thing though, that gun has the wrong attachment (like mine in the picture)

You want one that looks like this:

XB69-07 1/6 Scale VILLAINS Pistol Set HOT TOYS CITY DID | eBay

Holster something like this:

1/6 ACE USAF SpecOps Command STS Pistol+holster for 12" figure use | eBay

For now, im going to paint the stock hands black to look like skin tight gloves. I also just found my gun set up! I dont know how i luck out so bad, but i do.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake [sdabbs] - CLOSED

I had to drop the hands off the list because i couldn't find enough to buy off hand to mod for everyone and didn't think it fair to offer them if everyone could have them

All you need is some plain gloved hands, paint them navy blue and get someone to sculpt a raised rectangle on the top of the hand near the knuckle area

I think i bought some Captain America hands and i also hve some sideshow hands but they look terrible, both need painting though

UPDATE

For those yet to pay Pete for painting and shipping (and for those that have as well)

Things have changed slightly in that Pete will be painting them all, and then shipping them to me for me to add the elastic straps for the pads and then ship out.

So for those still yet to pay, just pay Pete the painting costs and then i will pm you a request for the shipping when ready to ship

Those that have already paid, don't worry Pete is going to forward me the payments on
